Late 19th & Early 20th Century heatwaves did exist and were documented

 

 If you have a fear of the Truth, then this is not the place for you.  If you want to continue to molest the psychological constitutions of schoolchildren, by telling them that the crop nutrient & forest elixir, CO2, is going to make the world come to an end within the next ten years, then you're in the wrongest spot. 

If you are a mindless follower who hates to think for yourself and who has zero creativity within you, then you're a fish out of water here.  Likewise, if you refuse to be objective and receptive, then you're nothing more than a rock off of which water endlessly bounces, never seeping inward.

In sequence, if you despise the original climate record  ---  defined as the one comprising many written news accounts of life-changing & life-ending weather events ---  then you're a balloon landing on a bed of nails.   

And of course, if you make lots of money getting people to believe that we are in a co2-induced climate crisis that only you can solve:

[1] when the fact is that weather disasters were far more tragic 80, 100, 120, and 150 years ago (when co2 was much lower),

[2] then you're the member of a slithering political faction who creates false crises, 

[3] for the sake of taxpayer money getting directed into your pockets.  

Such a thing is known as Theft by Deception, as well as Grand Larceny ... or Unjust Enrichment.

Below is a 1931 news article published by a newspaper publication that issued its first edition in 1851.  The article is an outline of well-chronicled weather events of the 1800s and early 1900s.  For followers of truth, it's required reading.  For followers of lies, it's required avoiding, with the added mission of hiding historic fact from the public.  Become enlightened:

1878 & 1896: Extreme heat. Yet, co2 was 127 & 122 ppm LOWER than now.

   Quick Note:  Today, atmospheric co2 is now 425 ppm, as of April 28, 2024.  In 1878, it was 290.  In 1896, it was 295.

Fraud is all throughout the "Climate Change" movement, and it resulted in schoolchildren --- and now adults --- being emotionally traumatized.  It was simply a matter of:

[1] altered temperature graphs done in the name of "homogenization," WITHOUT showing any METHODOLOGY in the changing-of-numbers.

[2]  It was also a matter of hiding the decline of the Briffa Graph  (hiding the global cooling of the 1960s & '70s from Michael Mann's overtly fraudulent Hockey-stick Graph.).  And it was a matter of ...

[3] hiding the US forest fire stats of 1926 to 1982, [4] hiding the wonderful turn-of-events in exotic Australia, [5] hiding the raw temperature data of the early & very heated 1920s, [5] hiding the fact that the angel fish of Brazil do well in 5.9 PH water, [6] hiding the fact that an abundant supply of co2 is needed in the vast, salty oceans, so as to prevent a corrosive 11.2 PH water inventory.  And it was a matter of . . .

[7] hiding the fact that the atmosphere already is 99.93% carbon-free, [8] hiding the fact that carbon-free cirrus clouds are a principle retainer of infrared heat, [9] hiding the drought history of the 19th Century, as well as the 13th & 16th Centuries, [10] hiding the hurricane history of the 16th, 17th, and 18th Centuries, 

[11] hiding the geo-markers and historical evidence which prove the existence of the Medieval Warm Period, [12] hiding the historical evidence of the 500+ year-long Little Ice Age, [13] hiding the intensely elevated sea level of the Eemian Period, when co2 levels were much lower than today, [14] exaggerating the small amount of sea level rise in the past 140 years,  and ...

... [15] hiding the many reports of glacier melt, glacier recession, and glacier disappearance in the 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, and early 1950s, not to mention hiding the exteme heat of 1871, 1878, and 1896, when co2 levels were almost as low as during caveman days.

Therefore, the entire Climate Sector of the Blue Marble Album was dedicated to undoing the emotional terror caused by Climate Fraudsters and their useful idiot teenage activists.  The Blue Marble Album was dedicated to climate article, to literally prevent suicides and to assuage very unfounded fears.

Below:  A newspaper article illustrating that the heat of the Summer of 2022 was nothing new ... nothing that brought change to the world.  Similar weather was scientifically & historically documented as far back as 1878, when the co2 level was 290 parts per million.  That's 127 ppm LESS than today.  Yet, 1878, as well as 1896, had as high temperatures throughout the world as any year in recorded history.  

Yes, 1896 was a year of brutal heat, without high concentrations of co2 being in the air.  This proves that co2 does NOT drive the climate in any capacity at all, whatsoever, in the least.  Read-up on the heat, and note that 116 & 117 Fahrenheit heat was present, during days of low co2 numbers.  In fact, it was simultaneously above 100F at 44 weather stations, in the Sydney Australia vicinity, during that time span.

Examples of "Climate Hysteria" fraud are illustrated all over the Blue Marble Album, such as Michael Mann's claim that Australia is doomed and will be a venue of numerous "climate refugees."  Well, the Great Barrier Reef replenished.  Australia recently had a couple record crop yields.  The drought is over, and was dependent on the shifting of the Equatorial ENSO which has nothing to do with co2 levels.  Plus, Australian ski lodges had ample snow fall on them, etc, etc, etc.

On and on go the examples of sleight of hand --- "false light" --- misrepresentation & climate fraud.  It's an involved con game, where the sought-for treasure is massive Congressional funding and other types of donations.  So, the US taxpayer loses, in the end.  However, suicides are now occurring, and this Climate Con Game has got to be curbed.  Emotionally terrifying less-than-intelligent people into suicide is Wrongful Death.

Below:  A newspaper article which concurs with the general reports of the heat of 1896 being a global occurrence, and not something limited to one or two locales.  And it was brutal heat, during that year; far worse than what England experienced for two days only, during the Summer of 2022.  In 1896, there were sunstroke deaths in England. 

 The Climate Fraudsters ... or their deceived useful idiots ... act as if life-giving co2 is the greatest enemy of mankind.  Not even close.  The greatest enemy of mankind ... in the physical realm ... throughout vast quantities of human history ... has been none other than:

                                                                    SMALLPOX.  

That was a real crisis.  Today's co2 alarm is a red herring, a false alarm,  a subterfuge.  After all, the Congress recently appropriated $370 BILLION U.S. taxpayer dollars to climate activism interests.  Thus, the motive for all of this fraud was & is in plain site.  The Congress and the American citizen was being bombarded with Climate Hysteria Propaganda.  So, an outrageous high amount of Congressional Funding resulted.

Below: The NYT article of August 18, 1896 shows that Michael Mann was only 124 years too late, in his dismal diagnosis of Australia.  The huge difference between then and now is that the co2 level in 1896 was 295 ppm.  That amounts to 122 ppm LOWER than today.  According to Al Gore, there should not have been any heat waves in the 19th Century.  Well, he was wrong.  This means that his unqualified theory is completely contrary to historic reality:

Below:  Even the Year 1878 had extreme heat.  The co2 level for that year was 290 ppm.  That's 127 ppm LESS than today. 

And of course, in the Summer of 2016, screen star Sigourney Weaver boldly stated, "This we have never seen before," when talking about every form of natural disaster and ice melt scenario that can be typecast in Hollywood and that can be viewed through a satellite.   

Her thesis statement was that the use of fossil fuels was causing disastrous weather extremes.  Of course, the suspect was the trace gas, carbon dioxide, which activates photosynthesis and abundant vegetation, in certain latitudes and altitudes of Planet Earth.  But, there is only one greenhouse gas which has any efficacy above the ability of cirrus clouds to retain infrared heat.  That's carbon-free water vapor.  The other greenhouse gases are too small in quantity to drive the climate in any capacity.  

As a transitory caveat, the only greenhouse gas exception is a conditional one.  And that exception is Sulfur Hexaflouride.  If that stable, man-made compound becomes a common household item, then we actually will be trouble . . . if and only if.  It is necessary to deep-six Sulfur Hexaflouride sometime in the near future, and to search for a substitute compound now.

Back to the regularly scheduled post:

Sigourney's timing, in boldly proclaiming what she did, was ironic.  This is because she publicly recited her script one calendar year after the Antarctic Continent had it's largest "sea ice extent" in its known history.  This was also a year after it was found that the bottom of the Ross Shelf was crystallizing in ice, and not melting away.  In fact, Sigourney's Democratic National Convention speech was two years after the coldest Winter in 40 years.  Her script writer was apparently clueless to atmospheric science, weather history, and oceanography.  In fact, the cover of Sigourney's Democratic National Convention script should have read, "For morons only."

It was double ironic that Sigourney spoke as a card-carrying prophetess, due to the fact that five years after her prime-time speech, Antarctica would have it's coldest Winter in known history.  Her speech writer definitely didn't see that one coming, and it basically would put anyone out of the prophesying business. 

MOREOVER, Weaver spoke her words the year after Planet Earth underwent its 16 year-long "Global Warming Hiatus."  That was the time span when no temperature rise was detected in the middle of the Troposphere.  It endured from 1999 to 2015, necessitating propagandists to change the name, "Global Warming" to :climate change."  In now changing the name, Global Warming, to Climate Change, the propagandists admitted that Global Warming had ceased ... at least for 16 years ... as well as during the 1960s & '70s which was called the "decline" in Climategate emails ... and even in the first part of the 1990s, when cold and snow made headline news.  So, Sigourney Weaver 's script writer struck out.   

Below:  A newspaper entry which concurs with the claim of 1878 being a very heated year.  It's a letter to the editor which mentions temperatures stated in an annual climate report.  Heat paid a visit to 1835, 1862, and 1876. as much as 1878.

Below: Now for America:  Evidence shows that 1878 was deadly in the States, too.  Yet, co2 was too low to have caused the heat, according to the Al Gore Theory of Climate.  Thus, why would anyone in his right mind think that co2 all of a sudden drives the climate today, when there was not enough of it in the 19th Century to cause the major droughts and heatwaves which occurred directly after the end of the Little Ice Age?  The conclusion is that Al Gore and Hockey-stick grapher, Michael Mann are con artists who need to be brought to justice, due to the tremendous amoun of money that ended up in their pockets, from claiming the co2 today is too high and is causing never-before-seen heat events.  Well, they were never-before-seen, except for the past 6,000 years, in intervals of time ... in cycles of time.  The evidence thus far shows that . . . Climate IS cyclical.  But, of course, you can't make lots of money saying that truth.

Since 1988, "fund-raising scientists" and political figures kept stating in public that humanity has 10 to 12 years to get rid of half of the trace gas known as co2, or else the world will come to an end.  They asserted that:  

{1} The sea level will rise, drowning millions along the coastlines, thereby resulting in the Statue of Liberty submerging into the Upper New York Bay.   No, wait!  {2} Drought will takeover the world and the ground will become too hard for planting crops, causing mass starvation.  But before that, millions will die in yearly heatwaves that will catch all of London on fire.  No, wait!  {3} All the diseases of the world will come out of the melted Arctic permafrost and will kill everybody, even though there has only been one Russian Arctic anthrax outbreak in Russian history, resulting in one and only one death.  

No, wait!  {4} All of the Himalayan glaciers will melt and cause everyone in Southern Asia to thirst to death.  No, not that.  Instead: {5} There will be no more snow storms and the dams will go dry.  No, no, no. {6} They'll be too much snow falling.   Hold it.   {7}  Forest fires will burn everyone in California.  No, wait! {8} Californian forests  will contract bacteriological infections that will kill all the trees and all the birds in the trees.  Plus . . .

{9} The oceans will turn acidic corrosive and will cause all the fish there to dissolve.  No, wait!  Better yet:  {10}  Wild animals will come out of the woods and attack humanity.  

However, in reality, during a congressional hearing, it was literally said that: {11} The animals have gotten smaller, even though the large fossilized animals --- such as 6 ft tall penguins --- existed when co2 levels were really high.  

Then came the assertion that elevated co2 ... {12} ... will cause people to become stupid and be unable to read, preceded by a decade of faulty decision-making.

Next comes the second biggest thing to come out of the mouths of activists:  {13} August will have no ice in the Arctic really really soon.  This iceless Arctic prediction has been occurring for decades.  None the less, 2012 was the year of the least amount of ice cover over the Arctic Ocean, to the tune of 1.32 square  miles of ice cover.  In order to drive or fly from one end of that ice sheet the its opposite end was equivalent to driving from Fargo North Dakota to San Diego California ... literally.  And that was when Arctic ice was at its lowest, after five or six months of the sun never being covered by the Earth's horizon.

Now for the grand event of every year . . . year after year, until we yawn ourselves to a state of much welcomed and much needed unconsciousness

And then, there is the annual tradition of stating that this past year was the hottest year ever, every single year, year after year.  Now, if every year has been the hottest year ever, then we all should have caught on fire by now, from the constant temperature rise.  But, in reality . . . 

... They've been crying wolf, over and over again, in order to get Congressional Funding and NGO Money Grants.  As a result, the grown-ups of America became tired of hearing the predictions that never come true.  So, the politicians and the "fund-raising scientists" targeted the youth, doing so with the help of the commercial & subscription media, as well as the teachers' union  ... telling the youth terrifying tales that still don't come true.  The end of the world keeps getting postponed.  Yet, it's always around the corner.  It's a tiring and blatantly annoying con game.

In reality, the climate is cyclical, and everything therein is a repeat performance of another era of time ... and never "unprecedented."  On occasion after occasion, outright fraud has been committed by "fund-raising scientists" and politicians looking to inject money into their districts (or states.)  Money is always the motive.  After all, if you tell Congress that all is fine --- and that the world isn't coming to an end in 10 to 12 years --- you get no funding.  It's that simple, and they are that much a crew of simpletons that they think that the grown-ups haven't noticed their very sick game.

Below: Yet another piece of evidence showing that there was excessive heat 144 years ago, when co2 levels were too low to cause Global Warming.  Yet, the Globe warmed many a times, when co2 levels were not much higher than during caveman days.  So, you need to truly awaken, and discover that you are in the middle of a massive, money-making swindle, where you are expected to be nothing more than a very useful idiot.

Opposite Directions

We were traveling
 in the same car,
 when, all of a sudden,
 our minds crashed into each other.

We both got out and started to run
 fast away from each other.

One of us wanted to run away from lies,
while the other one wanted to run away from truth.

American Dam Replenishment & the False-Light Ft Lauderdale Rain Report

 Observe this recent 2023 publication, even if it translates into you skimming over it ever so briefly:

Newsflash:  The American West did NOT have the worst drought in 1,200 years (as was repeatedly stated by the commercial media), and it did not have an ongoing drought.  Monsoons visited the American West on a regular basis throughout all that time.  They ironically came from the Gulf of Mexico ... instead of the Pacific Ocean ... through a clockwise rotating high pressure system.  Plus, the 2023 rainfall came to the American West as soon as La Nina ended.

The entirety of the above forecast can be found at https://www.weather.gov/owp/2023NHA.  It's based on the actual weather trend which recently transpired in 2023 and which disintegrated the climate doom predictions of 2022.   The predictions spoken by the usual suspects was that, in 2022, humanity reched a tipping point comprising a major extinction event of bitter dryness and parched heat, along with a contradictory event of Category 6 hurricanes and a very humid drowning of the coastlines. 

Neither event came close to happening.  As soon as the "La Nina" phase of the Pacific Ocean's El Nino Southern Oscillation ended, the replenishing rainfall & snowfall in America started.  La Nina makes the weather drier than normal in the Eastern Pacific, while simultaneously making things wetter than normal in the Western Pacific.    For those unfamiliar with ENSO, El Nino, & La Nina first take a look at this easy-listening introductory video made for the beginner/novice.  It assumes that the listener has no prior experience with meteorology and/or atmospheric science:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb3WMIaH4E

All in all, the weather of February-March-April 2023 turned out to be the opposite of what was predicted by the "celebrated" climate doom "experts," in their repetitively annoying & predictable End-of-the-World narrative which included: 

[1] a lasting drought in the American West --- which was said to have been occurring for years, even though regular Monsoon season was arriving in the American West throughout those years, [2] the depletion of the U.S. Western dams & reservoirs, all the while neglecting to mention the existence of a drastically increased human population there, along with an increased need for water, [3] the igniting of forest fires on a grander scale than had ever been previously seen, even though nothing will exceed the high number & ferocity of fires in the late 1920s and the entire 1930s, as well as in the 1870s. [4]  And let us not forgot the prediction of snowless winters in England ... California ... Utah ... and in the State of Arizona which does have ski resorts.  

Also, that which is called 'the climate crisis' was also claimed to be a crisis, on account of one, and only one, major hurricane that made landfall in the Continental United States in the entire 2022 hurricane season.  Yet, this one hurricane was preceded by a month which had no hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean, at all.  This observation, alone, makes the "climate crisis" alarm a sophomoric farce.  After all, to have only one major hurricane strike mainland North America during a hurricane season is to have no climate crisis at all.

The Actual Outcome of Weather Events in 2023 Thus Far

Instead of bringing the final phase of an extinction-causing drought to Planet Earth, the Year 2023 brought:  [1] the replenishment of dam water levels in the American West,  [2] record cold in New England,  [3] record cold in China,  [4] record cold & snowfall to Japan, and [5] sled riding in England with improvised sleds.  [6] Record high snowpacks in Utah & California.  However, that which transpired thus far in the Year 2023 was NOT the opposite of what the author of this Blue Marble Album site told readers to expect, back in 2022.   

See:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2i_jaY3JdQ&list=PLH8YDbh9qmDG6_EnHnoCHVzJ89x_Oav0Q

While [1] the commercial media, [2] lawsuit abuser Michael Mann, [3] the Biden Administration, [4] the very arrogant governor of California, and [4] the giggling airhead who occupies the vice presidency of the United States all claimed that a new and terminal phase of drought, heatwaves, crop failure, and all-around climate doom had arrived, the Blue Marble Album stated, "No, it hasn't."  None the less, he was written-off and ignored.

Despite the widespread propaganda & peer pressure, the Blue Marble Album author refused to succumb to the bullying and overly theatrical stage productions done under the guise of "mainstream media" news reports.  After all, there is no crisis caused by man-made co2, and the atmosphere is presently 99.9324% carbon-free;.  After all, [1] Nitrogen (78%),  [2] Oxygen (21%),  [3] Argon (0.93%),  [4] Neon (0.0018%),  [5] Helium (0.00052%), and [6] Krypton (0.00011%) are all carbon-free. 

The Blue Marble Album author wanted to be categorically counted out from the climate doomsayer camp, all the while being counted as a full-scale dissenter to the claim that there is a co2-driven & a methane-driven "climate crisis."   He repeatedly stated that "Climate is cyclical, just like a roller coaster."  He also displayed multiple newspaper reports, dating as far back as the 1800s to show that all of 2022's weather events previously happened, in patterned intervals of time, far more frequently than in a 1,000 years, 500 years, and even 150 years.  In fact, these events happened as recently as 2012, 2003, 1998, 1988, 1976, etc, etc, etc.  In as much, the weather events of Feb-March-April of 2023 proved his dissent to be nothing less than adherence to historic chronicles, to authentic almanacs, and to statistical accuracy. 

The Blue Marble Album author also stated, "On a spherical planet tilted at 23 1/2 degrees, one man's drought is another man's flood, and one man's heatwave is another man's cold snap.  He also reminded readers that Antarctica recently had its coldest winter in history in 2021, while two of the three sectors of the Great Barrier Reef became replenished in the same time span.  Yet, he was the one who was told that he didn't know what he was talking-about.  Then came Feb-March-April of 2023.  The scorecard at present reads:

~ the Blue Marble Album author who was NEVER payed as much as a dollar to write/speak for-or-against the present climate doom assertions = Correct.  

~ The celebrated Michael Mann (who NEVER won any type of Nobel Prize) & Al Gore (who was NEVER nominated for the Nobel Prize in Science) = embarrassingly wrong yet again in their predictable doomsday predictions.   

Michael Mann's Diversionary Tactic after the Successful Dam Replenishments

And of course, the dishonest Michael Mann whose Australian predictions failed shortly before his American drought predictions failed had to change the subject and create a diversion.  So, he very falsely claimed that the 2023 Broward County rain of April 12, 2023 was something that no one should see in a thousand years.  He called it the "Thousand Year Event," even though more virulent rain storms occurred in America throughout the 20th Century, including in FLORIDA, on September 5th, 1950.  

In April of 2023, it was reported in a deceptively false light that Southern Florida received 25.6 inches of rain in less than  24 hours.  (Note: the Wikipedia site stated that it happened in 12 hours, but heavily funded U.S. scientific administrations disagree.)   The truth was that only a small patch of Florida land received the 25+ inches, in a 24 hour period.  In nearby Florida terrain --- within the same 24 hour period --- rainfall amounted to  [1] 7.22 inches,  [2] 4.20 inches,  [3] 6.11 inches in Fort Lauderdale, itself,  [4] 9.82 inches,  [5] 6.67 inches,  [6] 6.59 inches,  [7] 8.14 inches,  [8] 5.16 inches,  [9] 9.60 inches,  [10] 7.14 inches.  Such an event is NOT a Thousand Year Event.  Michael Mann is a deliberate liar.  See below:

That 25+ inches only fell on a small patch of Florida land, with the neighboring areas getting much less rain in the same time span  This shows that the media and Michael Mann lie and lie and lie again and again.  PLUS,  25+ inches is NOT Florida's record.  38.70 inches in 1950 is.

In addition to Tampa Florida getting 38.70 inches of rain in 24 hours, in 1950,  [2] Texas got 42 inches of rain in a 24 hour period, in 1979.  Also, [3] Alabama's 24 hr record is 32.5 inches, and that occurred in 1997 --- not 1,001 years ago.   [4] Louisiana's 24 hr record is 22 inches of rainfall which fell in 1962 --- also a time much nearer to 2023 than is 1,000-years-ago.   

Continuing, other 24-hour state records include  [5] California; 25.8 inches in 1943,  [6] Georgia; 21.1 inches in 1994.  The chart below will fill you in on the other State records.  This and many other pieces of evidence posted at the Blue Marble Album illustrates how incessantly the media, Michael Mann, the Biden Administration, and Al Gore have been lying to the public. 

Compliments of the U.S. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration.  One correction needs to be made:  Florida's record is 38.0inches, accomplished on September 5, 1950, during Hurricane Easy. 

Also see:  https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Summary-US-State-Historical-Precipitation-Extremes

 

Preview: 

Florida's record rainfall within a 24-hour period did NOT occur in April of 2023.  It occurred on September 5, 1950, when the atmospheric co2 level was much lower than today ... and when the atmospheric methane level was less than 2 parts per million, just as it is today.  On that day, it rained 38.70 inches in the Tampa area, within 24 hours of time.  In fact, on November 11-12, 1980, a total of 23.38 inches of rainfall came upon the Key West international airport ... also in Florida.  In  Thus, the "Fort Lauderdale Storm" was nowhere near a "thousand year storm."  

Similarly, on July 24-25, 1979, a grand total of 42 inches of rain fell upon the Houston area within a 24 hour period.   In fact, on July 19-20, 1997 Dauphin Island Alabama got 32+ inches.  Alabama also got 22-24 inches of rain on another 1997 day, within a 24 hour period.  

In 1942, Pennsylvania once got 30.70 inches of rain in four and a half hour period.  In 1921, Thrall Texas got 36.40 inches of rain within an eighteen hour period.  And in 1943, California received 25.83 inches of rain within a 24 hour period.  The list goes on, and the bottom line is that there were many storms and floods that were far worse than the very temporary one of April 12, 2023.  Moreover, the one piece of evidence which proves the April 12, 2023 Fort Lauderdale rain to be hyper-exaggerated chump change is this:   NO ONE DIED on account of the April 2023 rain there!!!!!  

In contrast, the 1887 Yellow River Flood (Huang-Ho River Flood), in Qing China, killed 930,000+ human lives.  Plus, there were multiple Yellow River floods and numerous deaths throughout history.  The April 12, 2023 Fort Lauderdale rain compares to zero of them.

Moreover, Pennsylvania, a place much closer to Florida than is China, had some of the most powerful flood waters in history.  On May 31, 1889, 1,600 Johnston buildings were simultaneously demolished and swept away, when 16 million tons of water created a 40 foot high channel of raging water, a half mile wide.  Yet, 47 years prior to the 1889 flood, the Indus River Valley (in Pakistan) hosted the most disastrous flood in modern history.  It included100 foot high flood waters.  In fact, also in 1841 was a flood on the Salisbury Plain, called the Great (River) Till Flood of 1841.

Then comes the Great California Flood of 1862, when it days from December 9, 1861 to January 20, 1862.  Flooding extented into Idaho, Washington, Nevada & Utah.  4,000 died from the flood, during a time when the atmospheric co2 level was very very low, @ 286 ppm.   Today, co2 is @ 420 ppm.

There are numerous examples of rainfall and flooding far far worse than the very temporary April 12, 2023 flood which was hyper-exaggerated by the Michael Mann and Al Gore people, in order to deceive you into thinking that the recent Congressional outlay of 370 BILLION taxpayer dollars to the "climate activists & scientists" was necessary.  Newsflash:  It was a waster of taxpayer dollars, proven by the quick 2023 replenishment of Western dams, compliments of nature only ... and not by any funded scientist.

Let us begin:

Within here is yet another piece of evidence which shows that the climate crisis media has been doing nothing more than lying to the public.  Its technique of lying has been the use of:  [1] false light disinformation & [2] sleight-of-hand deception.  This was 100% the case with the July 19, 2022 Great London True Fire Stats, as well as the climate refugee predictions about an Australia that has recently been replenishing quite well, thank you.  

In addition to the Great Barrier Reef having the most coral cover it has had in over 40 years, the Australian ski resorts were in operation, too.  The opposite of what Michael Mann predicted occurred there.  Hearing Michael Mann's weather predictions is like listening to a Beatles album being played backwards.  The same goes for Jim Hansen, formerly of NASA.  He has a perfect record of weather predictions NEVER coming true.

This incessant deceit of the media ... which is simultaneously in line with Jim Hansen's incessant failure at weather predictions ... included the 35 year old watery doom prediction of the Maldives which has recently built 5 NEW autonomous airport landing fields, to accommodate the tourist popularity of those very healthy islands.   

This failed prediction is always accompanied by the prediction that the Arctic Ocean will "very soon" be free of sea ice during some upcoming August.  Yet, the closest that the Arctic Ocean came to an ice-free Summer was in 2012, when 1.32 MILLION  square miles of ice covered the Arctic Ocean.  Now, the square root of 1.32 MILLION square miles is 1,148 linear miles.  Thus, the least amount of ice that the Arctic had was equivalent to the distance from New York City to Kansas City Missouri ... squared.  Let it also be reminded that the glaciers of Glacier National Park were NOT "gone by 2020."

Then comes the matter of the Biden administration deleting from government charts & graphs the massive forest fire frequency of the late 1920s and entire 1930s.  This was done ... in my opinion ... to make the much lesser number of fires since 1983 look like the end of the world.  Today, students fail to realize that the creation of Smoky the Bear campaign in the early 1940s was a sign that forest fires of the 1930s had the attention of an entire nation, due to the traumatic size and even more traumatic effect that those fires had on the American psyche.   Even the extended tragedies of WWII did NOT make Americans ignore the massive acreage that succumbed to forest fires.

Australia is the size of the Continental USA, and it had its heat during the years when America did, also. 
Let us proceed with uncovering yet another lie told by the Michael-Mann-approved & Bill-Gates-funded media, as well as the commercial and even subscription news outlets. 

----------

On April 12, 2023, it was reported that "a Thousand Year" rainfall occurred in Florida, and that this was proof that Planet Earth was now in the midst of an Extinction-Event & Climate Crisis.  This would logically mean that the most rain to ever hit Florida (or anywhere else on Earth) fell on April 12, 2023.  

Michael "Hockey Sticks" Mann was placed in front of a camera, and we were assured that doom was now upon us, and that we all had to shut up, sit down, and fully submit our lives to him and his godlike knowledge of climate; as if no one else on Earth had meteorological statistics at their disposal.

You need to understand that Michael Mann utterly failed in his apocalyptic prediction that Australia will become a land vacated by climate refugees.  This is because the rains healthfully returned to Australia, along with coral cover that regenerated 2 of the 3 sectors of the Great Barrier Reef, as well as profitable Australian ski resorts. 

Then came the failure of the 2022 predictions of "a prolonged American drought," "added forest fire devastation," and "record heat."  This doomsday prediction literally got washed away and "whited out" by means of 2023's record snowpacks & snowfall in the American West, as well as record snowfall in England ... and Japan.  Meanwhile, the accompanying replenishment of American dams also made Mann look like a bumbling buffoon who was clueless to the true climate conditions of Planet Earth.  

If you want to see how far off in their predictions were the climate doomsayers of 2022, as they apply to Feb-Mar-Apr 2023, then take a look at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2i_jaY3JdQ&list=PLH8YDbh9qmDG6_EnHnoCHVzJ89x_Oav0Q 

Due to his climate prediction failures, Michael Mann had to create a diversionary tactic ... to continue deceiving Americans into believing that an apocalyptic extinction-event & climate crisis was underway.  So, he hyper-exaggerated the April 12, 2023 rain in southeastern Florida.  He told everybody that the sky was falling.

When assessing how dishonest is the Michael Mann who NEVER co-won any Nobel Prize, though he and certain media outlets very falsely claim this to be so, compare April 12 to the truly great American water disasters:

In all of the end-of-the-world hype provided by the climate doomsday media outlets, recent official government publications are the evidence which proved the April 12, 2023 rain reports to have been overly-hyped fraudulent misrepresentations.  To start, April 12 wasn't even the day of the most rainfall to ever visit Florida in a 24 hour period.  And it certainly wasn't the most rain to hit America or Planet Earth in a 24-hour period, as well.  

Florida's greatest 24-hour rainfall occurred 73 years ago, when co2 levels were much lower than today, on September 5,1950 ... NOT 1,001 years ago.   It rained 38.70 inches, during Hurricane Easy, covering the land that included my Alma Mater, the University of Tampa, a college that was known for its oceanography program during my time there.

Moreover, on November 11, 1980, 22.75 inches of rain fell on Key West.  That amounts to 43 years ago; NOT 1,001.

Plus, the 25.6 inches of rain (later amended to 5.91 inches) on April 12 (2023) only fell upon an exceptionally small piece of Southeastern Florida real estate.  It only fell on part of Broward County.  The real estate that surrounded the 25.6 inch (25.91 inch) rainfall zone was visited with much less rain at the exact same time.  Observe one of the NOAA & MWS (National Weather Service) prelim reports:  

~ Slightly South of  the 25.91 inch rainfall zone, only 7.22 inches of rain fell.  That equals  28% of 25.91 inches.  Slightly Northwest of it, a mere 4.20 inches of rain fell, and that constitutes only 16% of 25.91 inches.  

~ Slightly north of that zone, at Fort Lauderdale proper, no more than 6.11 inches of rain fell.  One step further south, in Hollywood Florida, it rained 9.82 inches, and this number only equals 38% of the heavily advertised 25.91 inches that fell upon a very small patch of Broward County land.

~  Directly West, it rained 6.59 & 8.14 inches. ---  One step further southwest, at Pembroke Pines, it rained a mere 5.16 inches.  One step further northwest, it rained 9.60 inches . . . all occurring in 24 hours of time.   

In fact, at Pompano Beach, it only rained 3.39 inches.  At Boca Raton Florida, it only rained 2.24 inches.  And at Miami proper, there was a range of 3.51 inches to 4.92 inches of rain.  Meanwhile, down on Miami Beach, it rained no more than 2.02 inches, on the exact same day.

Such numbers are not Thousand Year Events --- or even 150 Year Events --- or even 75 year events.  Now, this hyper-exaggerated doomsday report, in my opinion, was Michael Mann's attempt to rationalize and justify that outrageously exorbitant 370 BILLION taxpayer dollar allotment recently made to less-than-honest activists & scientists (as well as activist scientists.)  That Congressional allocation was done in the name of an apocalyptic climate crisis that certainly does not exist any more than a climate crisis existed throughout in the 1500s or even the 1900s.  

The 25+ inch rain of Apr 12, 2023 only fell on a small patch of Florida land, with the neighboring areas getting much less in the same time span  This shows that the media and Michael Mann lie and lie and lie, again and again and yet again.  Furthermore,  25+ inches in 2023 is NOT Florida's record.  38.70 inches in 1950 is.

Florida has 67 counties, while the United States has 3,243 counties (including Louisiana parishes).  A fraction of one county getting a lot of rain, while the surrounding patches of land only get 1/3 to 1/5 of that amount, is no climate crisis.  You gotta do better than that, if you want people to believe that the world is soon coming to a watery end.  The illustration above and many other pieces of evidence posted at the Blue Marble Album illustrate how incessantly Michael Mann, the Biden Administration, the media, and Al Gore have been lying to the public.  

Rainfall Records Elsewhere

 In recent decades ... within the past century ... other places got far worse than 25 inches of rain in 24 hrs.  As a quick example, Texas got 42 inches of rain in a 24 hour period, in 1979.   2023 minus 1979 = 44 years ago.  NOT 1,001 years ago.

In addition to Tampa Florida getting 38.70 inches of rain in 1950 --- and to Texas getting 42 inches in 1979 --- Alabama got 32.5 inches of rainfall in 24 hours, in 1997.  In as much, 2023 minus 1997 = 26 years ago;  NOT 1,001 years ago.   Plus, California's 24-hour rainfall record was 25.8 inches, and it transpired in 1943; 80 years ago --- NOT 1,001.   

Other 24-hour state records include Louisiana accruing 22 inches of rainfall in 1962 , as well as Georgia getting 21.1 inches in 1994.  Massachusetts got 18.2 inches in 1955, while Missouri got 18.2 inches in 1965.  There is a chart below which will fill you in on the other State records.  

Most rainfall in 18 hours of time

In September of 1921, 36.40 inches of rain fell on Thrall, Texas, in an 18 hour period.  And on July 17, 1942, it rained 30.70 inches for a four and a half hour period, in Smethport, Pennsylvania (12 miles or so south from the NY/PA border.)  That's 30.70 inches in 4.5 hours ... 4 1/2 hours.  Now, 2023 minus 1921 = 102 years ago, when co2 levels were much lower than they are today.  In addition, 2023 minus 1942 = 81 years ago;  NOT 1,001 years ago.

A second NWS prelim report for Broward County, April 12-13, 2023

When viewing the NWS prelim report below, keep in mind that the NWS Miami twitter account admits that a portion of the rainfall numbers on its Apr13, 9:30am tweet are NOT regarded as official numbers --- that some are numbers gathered by volunteers, and that the numbers came from several sources.  NO matter what stats or illustration you view, only a small patch of land ... relatively speaking ... was involved in the April 12, 2023 rain.  There were far worse flooding events and longer consecutive rain days in the 20th Century.  This was already addressed ... with examples ... at the Blue Marble Album.

The most important thing is that climate is "the prevailing weather TREND." ... usually throughout the most recent thirty-year period.  A mere 24, 48, or 72 doesn't indicate any kind of trend.  Something so short in time is an event' NOT a trend. 

Any one-day event has zero bearing on climate.  There is less than 1/2 of 1% of co2 in that sky out there, and in the same sky methane exists at LESS THAN two parts per million.  During the Cambrian Explosion, when sea life came into existence, there literally was 16 and two-thirds MORE co2 in the sky.  So, you must quit frightening your school students with you end-of-the-world predictions that have been failing since 1970.  Planet Earth is still here, as are the Maldive, Arctic Ice, etc.  In fact, the end of your world (on this Earth) will come a whole lot sooner than the end of "THE WORLD."

Any one-day event has zero bearing on climate.  There is less than 1/2 of 1% co2 in that sky out there, and in the same sky methane exists at LESS THAN two parts per million.  During the Cambrian Explosion, when sea life inclusively & vastly came into existence, there literally was 16 and two-thirds MORE co2 in the sky.  You need to quit during your Al Gore impersonation of climate doom coming tomorrow.  It is assured that the end of your world (on this Earth) will come a whole lot sooner than the end of "THE WORLD."

 10.22 inches of rain is still only half of the 25.91 placed in neon lights by the Bill-Gates-friendly press.  The April 12 event was NOT a long-term, repetitive event.  It's defined as "cherry picking," with the intent of terrifying school children so much that their parents will be effected and then demand yet more hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to be tossed into the hands of the climate doom scientists who have thus far been completely wrong in all their predictions, dating back to 1970.   

The specific predictions of climate doom and massive crop failure and drowning coastlines have been addressed in other texts.  All in all, the Maldives are still there.  The Great Barrier Reef is still there.  Summertime Arctic Ice is still there.  The glaciers of Glacier National Park are still there.  The Daytona Beach and Miami Beach coastlines are still there.  Etc, etc, etc.

As far as goes the world record for the most rainfall to have transpired in a 24 hour period, it occurred on January 7-8, 1966.  It rained 71.8 inches on Reunion Island, in the Indian Ocean, east of the island known as Madagascar --- which is east of the African continent.   And of course, 2023 minus 1966 = 57 years ago;  NOT 1,001.  Thus, Michael Mann is a pathetically sophomoric liar with the maturity factor of a 12 year old.  Why did he not think that someone somewhere was going to do some fact checking with official government publications?

As far as goes the longest dry period:  Between October 1903 and January 1918, it did not rain in Arica, Chile --- which is located 11 miles south of the Peru border.  That dry spell occurred 105 to 120 years ago.  That rainless dry spell lasted for 15 years.

In fact, during 1913, in Death Valley USA, the hottest temperature ever recorded was recorded there.  And the years 1920 to 1922 were years of drastic heat and glacier melt, including the melting of Arctic sea ice up to the 82nd parallel.  As a comparison, know that the North Pole is at 90 degrees.  Thus ice melt occurred 8 latitudinal degrees from the North Pole, in 1922; 101 years ago --- NOT 1,001 years ago.

Moreover, the Years 1927 to 1943 were years of massive forest fires in the western United States.  In addition, 1934 was the year of the worst drought in a thousand years, according to NASA.  Meanwhile, 1936 had the hottest summer on record.  So, you lie when you say that the worse weather conditions are occurring today.

Compliments of the U.S. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration.  One correction needs to be made:  Florida's record is 38.70 inches, accomplished on September 5, 1950, during Hurricane Easy.

The Poles and Greenland

Schoolchildren of America, you do not have to fear that which Albert Gore predicted 16 years ago and which never materialized even slightly, other than an occasional heat wave in a world which has had multiple heat waves throughout its recorded history, along with droughts, famines, and floods.  And of course, this is the atmospheric equivalent to Lions and Tigers and Bears.  On my!   

Below is a graph that serves as a supplement to the Old World Drought Atlas.  That map covers the late Medieval Era.  That era is actually the Renaissance.  The graph below shows that there was a severe drought transpiring in Central Europe when Augustinian friar, Father Martin Luther, submitted his 95 Theses for public discourse.  The drought was pronounced east of Austria, however.

In addition, there was a European drought of note in 1506-07, as well as in the 1470s & 1480s.  In fact, 1616 & 1741 were historic drought years for Europe, as were the years 1893 & 1921.  History has droughts all over the place, from time to time, taking turns with floods, pestilence, major land storms, humid heat waves, dry heat waves, ice stacking, cold spells, snow storms, sea storms, and even algae blooms in what is modern Florida, etc.  

Tornadoes are a bit different, being that the first one ever reported in England was in 1091, and that is relatively late.  Yet, ancient Greece has writings on the occasional presence of tornadoes in the Mediterranean.  All in all, David Attenborough and Michael Mann lied when they said on different occasions that the weather of the past 1,000 years was stable & mild until the invention of the gasoline engine.  Turbulence is an integral part of weather history, even 200, 400, and 600 years before the invention of the diesel engine, the lawn mower engine, the rocket engine, etc.

Now, PDSI means Palmer Drought Severity Index.  The JJA means June-July-August.

This mostly refers to Hungary, Slovenia, etc.  It is simply a small puzzle piece showing the larger picture.  The larger picture is that the weather was NOT mild & stable for a thousand years, until the Industrial Revolution.  Michael Mann & David Attenborough are liars.

Plus, you do NOT need to fear the doom-ridden 1988 predictions of the former director of NASA's NYC branch, Jim Hansen, in his 35 year old predictions which never came true, at all.  After all, the Maldives did NOT go underwater, lower Manhattan did not go underwater, and the Arctic's closest event to an ice-free August was in 2012, when 1.32 MILLION square miles of ice remained on top of the Arctic Ocean during the hottest time of the year.  

Covering the perimeter of that distance of ice was equivalent to flying 1,148 east to west and then 1,148 miles north to south.  That's close to flying from Boston to Milwaukee, and then from Milwaukee to Houston, followed by flying from Houston to Miami, and then going from Miami back up to Boston again.  That sheet of Arctic ice was 6 times LARGER than the size of France, and it was the lowest amount of Summertime Arctic ice in modern history.  Yet, it was a lot of remaining ice.

BTW, if the Arctic Ocean ever becomes ice-free, there will be no rise in sea level.  It will be the same effect as the ice cubes in your glass of cola melting on a Summer day.  Cola does NOT flow over the top of your glass, after the ice in it melts.  

Actually, there will be a slight decrease in sea level, if the Arctic Ocean entirely melts.  This is the same phenomenon as was seen by those of us who worked on ranches, in rain-water-supplied complexes, and on farms.  When it snows, the troughs' water & snow levels increase in height.  Then, when the snow melts, the water level of the troughs and containers drops significantly.  There will be no flooding from the Arctic Ocean part of the Arctic Region, if the Arctic Ocean entirely becomes ice-free.  


*****************************
In 1907, morning heat was much like that of the Summer of 2023.  Yet, the co2 count was very low in 1907.  None the less, in the Arctic Circl, at 8 am, it was 70 degrees FAHRENHEIT.  This is one of numerous proofs that the co2 count does NOT effect outdoor, atmospheric temps on such a grand scale.  It also shows that co2 does NOT drive the climate.  NASA has long since said that "the SUN drives the climate."
BTW, the Arctic is the second largest desert range on Earth, meaning very little rain and/or snow.  Atacoma in Chile is the second driest desert on Earth, with the McMurdo Valley of Antarctica being the driest.    Greenland is a part of the second largest desert on Earth.  Plus, it has 35 mountain tops higher than 5,000 feet, and two higher than 10,000.  That  amounts to 10C & 20C colder than ground level.Plus, the are coastlines there that have no ice sheet.  This translates into no ice melting and instantly draining into the Arctic Ocean.

Plus, there is a large canyon with v-shaped walls in the center of Greenland.  This means its walls were shaped by water and not ice.  This additionally means that Greenland was once ice-free.  

Now, global warming and global cooling are uniform throughout the circumference of the Earth, especially in the middle of the Troposphere.  The difference in temperature occurs at the elevation phase, from sea level to the Tropopause, with temps decreasing with elevation.  

CO2 levels are uniform throughout the atmosphere.  In as much, if Greenland is warming faster that it has in the past 1,000 years, 2,000 years, 11,000 years, or even 130,000 years, then every place on Earth would be experiencing the exact same rate of temperature increase, concerning elevation above sea level.  It's obvious that this is not happening, especially with intervals of record cold that occasionally appear.  And as far as goes heat waves, this site repeatedly showed those era.  

In quick review, heat wave years ... while co2 levels were still quite low ... included 1871, 1878, 1895 & 96, 1901, 1903, 1905, 1910 & 11, 1913, 1921 & 22, 1934, 1936, and 1958.  The csme the decline that Michael Mann hid from his ridiculously fraudulent hockey stick graph, by means of a "math trick."  This was mentioned in the 2009 Climategate Emails.

The temperature decline did occur from 1940 to 1979.  After all, a few of the most historic WWII battles occurred in torturously cold weather.  I can testify from personal experience that the 1960s were brutally cold during winter, also.  The middle 1970s to 1979 were just plain cold ... cooler than desired ... throughout the time span.  Sometimes it was all too cold.  I was there.  I felt it.  You activist youth ... You Generation Y, Millennials ... who act like you know everything, when you hardly know anything, were NOT there to know what it felt like.  Case Closed.  

BTW, you Gen Y's do come off as idiots.  But, it's not  because you don't have the correct facts.  It's because you refuse to search for the answer and to first weigh the facts.  You arrogantly act as if you know everything and that debate is forbidden.  

However, it's the great minds who question.  It's the great minds who allow questions, along with Point & Counterpoint debates.  You and your generation were taught to be censoring Nazi Gestapo agents & propaganda peddlars.  You were taught to be Pompous Little Twits, with very little minds ... and even littler tolerance.  

There is nothing liberal about you.  You are self-seeking misers, dedicated to instant gratification ... and dominance over others.  The concept of teamwork doesn't exist with you, until it comes time to do physical violence to others ... or to statues ... or to churches, etc.

SURFACE MASS BALANCE

That which matters is surface mass balance.  There were recent occasions of notable increase.  But, the trend over the years was a decrease of surface mass balance.  HOWEVER, the notable thing about this is that, while the Arctic was losing ice mass, Antarctica was gaining it.  This is called "an inverse relationship."  What mechanism was causing this?  

None the less, if the Arctic Ocean were to completely melt instantly, the result would be a "0" inch rise in sea level.  I've already addressed Greenland, in several climate discourses.  There's a search box to the righthand corner of this website.

Antarctica was gaining while the Arctic was losing . . . ice.  Yet, Antarctica is arrayed with volcanoes which are very effective ice-melting-machines.  The bottom line is that reducing all consideration of climate & weather to live-giving-co2 ... while accusing the photosynthesis activator the angel of death ... is the act of being an easily deceived & asinine buffoon.  I thought that you were better than that, dear average American.

The Roman Warm Period & the Justinian Era Antique Little Ice Age

  the roman forum, rome, ancient, italy, history, the ruins of the, architecture, culture, monuments, caesar

Opening Note:  Do not confuse the Justinian Era Antique Little Ice Age that started in 536AD with the Mini Ice Age (sometimes called the Little Ice Age) which started with a 1313 drought and then the Black Death in 1348 .... and which was actually ushered-in by the 1280 Wolf Solar Minimum.  It was during the 1280s when two different ... yet equally disastrous sea storms ... which destroyed two entirely different invasion fleets of the Kubla Khan who never succeeded in conquering Japan.  Okay then.  We begin.

Concerning Global Warming History, science researchers recently found that it was TWO degrees Celsius WARMER during the Roman Warm Period than it is today.  Therefore, according to Bill Nye, it was impossible for there to have ever been a Roman Empire, in that the 2C degree heat increase would have resulted in a climate so hostile that no one could organize government and society.  Well, that warm-weather empire did exist and it flourished for centuries, even in hot-hot Africa.

For the sake of time orientation purposes, know that the Roman Warm Period is more concisely understood to have begun at the time of Julius Caesar or Caesar Augustus, and it is understood to have ended at the start of the dreadful Justinian Plague.  In fact, 536 AD was regarded as the most disastrous year in human history ... not 2022.  None the less, there was an Iron Age cooling period before the Roman Warming came into play.

 See ::: The Roman Warm Period was 2 degrees Celsius warmer than today. 

The cooling period that started during the reign of Justinian is known as the Late Antique Little Ice Age.  It was described by scientists as "an abrupt 124 year freeze," and it was marked by aridity and famine.  It left continents of people weakened and vulnerable to the invasions of a newly formed religion which imposed death or a tax called the Jizya upon those who did not adhere to the newly formed religion.  The abrupt cooling period is conjectured to have been triggered by three major volcanic eruptions in an eleven year period, the first one erupting in 536AD and the most massive one erupting in 540AD.

 Notice the pattern ::: A couple mini-ice-ages each start at the beginning of a plague.  Think.

During a volcanic eruption, a lot of co2 and a lot of sulfur dioxide is released into the atmosphere.  Now, with the tremendous amount of co2 being thrust into the Troposphere, one would think that the weather after a volcano would be warm.  The truth is, after a volcanic eruption, cold weather ensues.  An example is the 1815 eruption of Mt Tambora.  It resulted in the 1816 "Summer that Never Was."  

The truth is that the sulfur dioxide thrust into the atmosphere by volcanoes supersedes co2 and causes drastic cooling.  This is because sulfur dioxide molecules are like mirrors that reflect solar radiation back into outer space.  Such cooling is known as "the aerosol effect."

None the less, before the Roman Warm Period, there was a cooling period marked by glacier advances on Earth.  In fact, the existence of the Copper Age Warming Period occurred circa 2913 B.C.E.   This began the gradual aridification process of Egypt.   There was also a Bronze Age Warm Period, circa 2040 BCE.  This was a time marked by aridity and famine, too.  It also marked the start of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom.

When speaking of Cooling Phases being more likely to accompany disastrous weather events, take the common tornado as an example.  That which is required for a tornado to form and to activate is  ====> "a downdraft of COLD air."  Without the cold making an appearance, there are no tornadoes.

Incidentally, Global Warming was first mentioned on air in 1983, on the NBC Nightly News, by the late Jessica Savitch.  Tragically, Jessica died in late October of that same year, in an automobile accident.  She and a New York Post manager were found under five feet of water, in the Delaware Canal, 30 miles from Philly.  She was only 35. 

The True Textbook-Defined Signature of Global Warming 

 If there is no temperature rise in the middle of the Troposphere, then there is no global warming.  There was no Tropospheric temperature rise between 1999 and 2016.  This was called the Hiatus (the resting --- the "Global Warming Pause").
